This application filed October 25, 1922. Serial No. 598,757.

To all whom it may concern:

Be it known that I, JULIA R. Penn, a citizen of the United States ofAmerica, residing at Montclair, New Jersey, have invented new and usefulImprovements in Candy Novelties, of which the following is aspecification.

My invention relates to candy novelties, and particularly has for itsobject animate figures made up of a number of individual pieces of candyrepresenting different parts of the body of the figure, and means forholding these parts in place. These figures may be of dolls, suitablyassembled and decorated to represent baby dolls, boys, girls, men,women, clowns, colored people, brownies, or other figures attractiie orodd in appearance and particularly liked by children, or they may beanimals, such as dogs, elephants, cows and other animates thecharacteristics of which are well known so that they can be recognizedwhen represented somewhat crudely by an assembled structure in which thevarious parts of the body consist of pieces of candy. The figures mayalso be purely fanciful, if desired; or they may represent any otherliving thing than those specifically named.

My invention consists in the construction, combination and arrangementof parts here in described and claimed, and illustrated in theaccompanying drawings.

In these drawings, in which similar reference characters designatecorresponding parts in all views, I have illustrated by way of oneexample of a preferred embodiment of my invention a doll representing acolored boy.

Figure 1 is an elevation of a doll constructed in accordance with myinvention, and

Figure 2 is a section taken approximately on the vertical axis of thefigure.

Referring to these drawings, the doll 1 may be made up of a number ofdiiferent candies, preferably of the gum-drop variety, or such othermaterial as to permit of the candies being fastened together byconcealed means. These candies may be suitably shaped to represent oneor more parts of a body, for instance a head 2, which in the case of thecolored boy illustrated might be a licorice gum drop, a body portion 3,4, legs 5, feet 6, arms 7, of gum drops of different colors to representhis clothes, hat 8, hat ornament 9, neck 10 and such other parts as mayseem desirable in making up any desired design. Candies of differentshapes and colors, as indicated, may be used, and thus a variety offanciful designs may be evolved, but one of which is shown forillustrat-ive purposes.

In order to hold the different candies forming the different parts ofthe body together to form a complete figure, I provide a frameworkadapted to be concealed Within the doll, which may comprise wires, pins,sticks, cords, or other material of this sort.

For instance, I prefer to use as the basis of the framework the twowires 11 and 12, which at one end are set into the candies 6representing the feet, passing through the candies 5 representing thelegs, then through the candies 3. 4 representing the body, and extendingup through the neck candy 10 into the candy 2 representing the head, oreven therethrough into the cap, as shown While I prefer to mount as manyof the candies as can conveniently be done upon a single framework,other parts which do not readily lend themselves to attachment to themain framework may be attached by means of pins 13 such as are shown inthe drawing for the purpose of holding the arms upon the body, a pin 14to hold the hat ornament upon the hat, and a pin 15 to hold the feettogether.

- While gum-drops lend themselves particularly well to this sort ofutilization, it is clear that any other form of candy may be'used whichis soft enough to be pierced by the pins or other material forming theframework, and any such candy is to be considered as coming within theterm gum drop as used herein.

It is also evident that the candies forming the figure may be decoratedby the addition of icing, or other material to represent facialfeatures, buttons, and the like as shown in Fi re 1.

s a result of this construction, a candy figure is provided in which thevarious parts of the body are all made of unwrapped indiin the drawing.

the candy representing object and the means for holding vidual candies,

candies 1S concealed within the individual the doll.

Having thus I claim is:

1. A candy figure representing an animate object comprising a luralityof pieces of candy having suitable configurations to represent the head,body, legs and feet, two at least of which candy pieces represent thefeet of the body and which are of such a configuration as to provide asecure foundation, means passing through the head, body, legs and feetwhereby the same are held together and a means passing through the feetwhereby the same are held in predetermined relationship.

2. A candy figure representing an animate so shaped as to represent ahead, neck, body, legs and feet, said feet being adapted to support theobject in upright position, a wire assing through the head, neck, body,a leg and a foot, a second wire passing through the head, neck, body, aleg and a described my invention, what' foot, a third wire connectingthe feet, said wires forming substantially a triangle.

3. A candy figure representin an animate object comprising pieces ofcandy shaped to represent the head, body, legs and feet and other partsof the figure, wires which extend through said head, body, legs and feetand pins arranged to attach the other parts to the figure, said wiresand pins being wholl concealed within the figure.

4. r candy figure representing an animate object comprising a pluralityof pieces of candy having suitable configurations to represent the head,body, legs and feet, said feet being adapted to support the object inupright position, wholly concealed means passing at least through thefeet, legs and into the body portion to support same in fixedpredetermined relationship, and means for securing other parts to saidhead and body.

In testimony whereof I have signed my name to this specfication.
